Starting point is 00:00:00 This is a podcast from Rover. For show that we'll have you on the edge of your seats. They're back. This is Clint Meg and Dan. It's the edge bricky. 94.2. Good morning. Being on 6 o'clock Friday.
Starting point is 00:00:14 Eve. Good morning. What's the Thursday already? Is it? God, this week's going quick, isn't it? Let us not, if you're up, morning, Sanjay. I know you will be mate chasing the sunrise. And Abby or Amber, I always get a name role who also does runs with Sanjay.
Starting point is 00:00:28 Amber. Amber. Do they run together or are they just running separately? Sanjay's like, no, the wife gets home. Who's this Amber chain? Sorry about that. You never know. Sanjay might have an injury and he's not running today.
Starting point is 00:00:39 Also, Starlight Savings is going to be like done in like a couple of weeks? So does that mean the sun comes up earlier? So you've got to get up even earlier to see it? No, I think we get a sleep in, but we also means it gets darker at nighttime so you don't get any summer out of barbecues. I like it in the mornings. I like it when it's a bit darker at early. We get a sleep in though.
Starting point is 00:00:58 Yeah, right. We get a next hour. No, I like when the sun's still up, but you can go throw a ball in the park with the boy. The only boy, not your girl? She can't catch a panamaic. She's always complaining about it. She actually, I'm like, it's a softball babe,
Starting point is 00:01:11 and she like dives out of the way. Yeah, she's not a huge fan. Okay. That's because you play it when it's dark. Yeah, I say that's the only way I remember it, actually. It's like you get a good and a bad thing with both. You get the sleep in, but you get the darker nights with one, and then you get, you have to wake up earlier,
Starting point is 00:01:27 but then you get some of the other. I don't get the sleeping over anything to be fair. And I don't imagine it would be difficult to try and teach your seven-month-old. The clocks have changed, and so their bedtime before all of the changes. You were so correct. Both my toddler and my baby, they just adapt. Yeah. You chose to have a week.
Starting point is 00:01:45 Yeah. Yep, no one made you have them. Dan loves doing that. Thanks, thanks, Dan. Oh, my gosh. I'm about to jump into your 6am throwback morning, Marilyn, who says, I'm up. Tanya's also up.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Sanjay said, I am up, Dan, you're right, but not too much running at the moment. Yeah. It's getting too jacked, I think. There's a small group in the 4 AM club. Sometimes running, like, even the best runners have to have a break. So good on you, Sanjay. You don't want to... Yeah, that's true.
Starting point is 00:02:10 Dan, you've had a break for how long now? Yeah, go on. It's been well over a year. Actually, I'm the same. I was a jogger every day before pregnancy, and then since then I need to get back into it. But damn, it's hard. It's just not...
Starting point is 00:02:25 They say it's fun, but it's definitely not fun in the beginning when you're trying to get your fitness back. No. And even during, I never really got it. I just did it. People are like, yeah, but at the end that euphoric feeling, I'm like, at the end I'm just like, thank God it's done.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Yeah, like you feel good because you're like, well, that's done, and now I'm happy I've done exercise. Exactly. Yeah, no, no, thank you. Yeah, earthquake, labyrinth and tiny temper. Well, it's going to have to be a good one because it's a big day in music today. Oh, then we've got so many choices.
Starting point is 00:02:59 Click get me some Shakira. Some Shakira. Yeah. Waka, Waka is your best. On this day in 2006, she became the first pop star to release a single only from a mobile download.
Starting point is 00:03:12 It wasn't this song, but we couldn't play it just to celebrate. Why don't we have, I mean, obviously we could go with Lincoln Park, they've played in Auckland and they'll still be in the country at the moment. By the way, Clint, spoiler, Jay-Z didn't turn up, like you thought he might have. A lot of people were.
Starting point is 00:03:43 saying that maybe Savage would come out and do the rap parts? Not the case. No. No, I feel savage and like, hey man, do you want to come out and do Jayze's part? I'm not doing Jay Z's part? Like I think he'd probably be like, you're not Jay Z, get off the stage. And then Savage's trying to do a nice thing. He's a lovely guy and he's going to cop hate for it.
Starting point is 00:04:01 Yeah, that's true. You can't win. No, exactly. I think he's probably right to have turned that down if he was ever even asked. Yeah. The other option is 50 Cent. He became the first solo artist to have three singles in the US top five. Shop was number one
Starting point is 00:04:15 with a couple of his other hits in the top five as well. A good little candy shop. Meg, I'll let you lick the lollipop. Yeah, he'll leave me. He'll let you like the lollipop. He makes it like almost like a like
Starting point is 00:04:34 oh well only if I allow you to do it. Yeah, but you should be so lucky. So what do you do? I mean Lincoln Park would be an actual choice wouldn't it? It would be, but I actually also like the playlist. I even heard that song in years.
Starting point is 00:04:52 Birthquake. Yeah. We could get some Link apart because we're going to do a bit of a wrap-up of the gig and how it all went. I know producer Carl Paul Tommortio. Yeah, it was epic. It was a girl who had the perfect way
Starting point is 00:05:05 to try and get the hat of a band member if you ever want one. It was successful. Yeah, it worked. But she deserved it. It wasn't like she was trying to coax it out of him. Do you think the sign was true or false? Of course we thought it was true.
Starting point is 00:05:16 Why would you lie about what she was saying? Because you get that. She had an operation coming, man. Sabrin, come in. The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. It's a strange name to give yourself, isn't it? As like a singer or a rapper. Not big temper.
Starting point is 00:05:28 Yeah. Tiny temper. Maybe he wants people to know he's chill. What is it with rappers? Yeah, but even saying he has a tiny temper still suggests that he's, you know, a guy that's going to flip out the drop of a hat, don't you think? But what is it about rappers?
Starting point is 00:05:41 Because you have like, and I guess pop stars as well, they're either like little yodgy, little dixie, little jon, little wane. Big, some wild. It's big Sean. I mean, he was quite big, so I think maybe if he'd gone little, everyone would have got a low, man. What's Big Sean big? Is Big Sean big? I think, wouldn't he date Ariana Grande?
Starting point is 00:05:58 And she was at, yeah. I mean, everybody's big compared to her. I mean, just in size. Big Sean height. Because if you're big, Sean, I'm thinking he's over 6'4, he's my height. He's my height. One metre is 73. No, but I think the thing he has is much larger than yours.
Starting point is 00:06:11 No, if he's, he's like literally in 5 foot 8. I remember we had... But doesn't he have a big? Google that. He's big in other ways. Yeah, that's what I. I thought. I remember we interviewed Little Yottie a few many years ago,
Starting point is 00:06:25 not on this show, but a previous show I worked on. And he was just so boring. Oh, yeah, came in like two cool away. No, but like, just like very, just could, like, he couldn't get anything for the interview because he was just so, like, drone. I see why he's called Big Sean. Don't worry, we'll move on.
Starting point is 00:06:41 Oh, God, really. Yeah, that's the rumor, right? That's all we need to say. Not just a rumor, though. Meigs found something on who. Work laptop that gets blocked up my computer. They let me look. How do you stop someone, guys?
Starting point is 00:06:54 Here's a question. From doing something nice. Why would you want to? When you don't want them to do something nice. That doesn't make any sense. We've got an old man that lives across the road from us. And he's very lovely, and I get this. You know, he's a nice, generous old man
Starting point is 00:07:06 that keeps bringing us vegetables from his vegetable going. Sounds literally like a dream. Heaven on earth, Clint. The thing is... Big massive, those big red tomatoes. Big beautiful little old man that comes and drops off vegetables. That's literally probably whatever. every person's dream is.
Starting point is 00:07:22 The thing is, though, the vegetables, you're thinking of lovely, you know, juicy vegetables. He brings over, like, deformed stuff. So you want the good stuff? Well, you know, I don't want to... We've never asked. I've never gone across the road and gone, I don't know what his name is.
Starting point is 00:07:38 Keith. Oh, my God. Can we please have some of your fruit and vegetables? Only the good ones. And so he'll bring them over every now and then, unannounced. I'll be at home with George in the afternoons. Knock on the door.
Starting point is 00:07:49 He's fine. Guy again. open the door and it's in, he's put in, like, I just come across mean. But I don't want the fruit veg. Hobbled all the way over in his walk, he's not that old. There's a lovely old, lovely young family
Starting point is 00:08:02 with a child. I will go and give, I have too many vegetables. I'm alone. I'm by myself. I have no family or friends. You're assuming a lot here. The dad looks like he would enjoy an aubergine. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:14 And he goes, I'm going to, I'm going to share the fruits of my labor. He does keep giving me phallis-lacted things. That I have... Not an eggplant for you, Danny Boy? Garden because I don't have any family anymore. My wife died in a terrible... She's still alive. I've seen her as well. No, this is his new wife.
Starting point is 00:08:29 Yeah, now he's alone. Old guys especially find it really hard to be alone. What is he given to you? You name vegetables, he has given them to me. We've had Swedes. We've had a few strawberries that look like they've been put in a blender before he brought them over. Turnips?
Starting point is 00:08:42 Turnips. We've had potatoes that look like anything but a potato. String beans? String beans. He's brought them over. He brought a thing over the other day. even know what it was. Hannah had to take a photo of it on that Google thing to see what the fruit was.
Starting point is 00:08:54 And it was like this thing. We ended up throwing it out. The thing is, I don't want the fruit. And Hannah's one of those people that's like we would, anything could have been shoved up a bottom. So as she doesn't. What do you hear me? I was saying he thinks he's shoving his turnip up this ass. Shut up.
Starting point is 00:09:10 I hope he is. There's no. Yeah, me too. Honestly. You deserve that. Yeah. Holy gal. Your wife sitting and going, oh, we could eat this beautiful sweet, this old man.
Starting point is 00:09:19 brought over to us, or he could have shoved it up his ass. What do you mean? Nobody's ever had those thoughts. You know, your wife worked in a hospital for too long. You hear these stories happening. No. You do. No. You do. And he comes across like an old, lovely old man. But he does walk with the producer car. I was just going to, I just wanted to ask the question,
Starting point is 00:09:39 is it all unsolicited gifts? Because I've got sitting out here in the producer booth next to me, a package, and it's, I think it's from a listener. And it's addressed to you, Dan. Oh, that's fun. If it's got fruit and vegetables in it, I'm not interested. You're outrageous. First call of the day next. O eight hundred the edge if you want a voucher to go spend the store at Z.
Starting point is 00:09:59 God, it's like better than cash. Yeah. These vouchers. I'll have that. If he brings cash over, I'll take it. It's got to be shoved up and ask them, right? True, but I'll watch it. Clint, Megan Dan.
Starting point is 00:10:08 Lesh goal. First call of the day. First goal of the day. All right. Who got joining us this morning? It's Alex who works as a new world manager. How fun, New World. So more interesting.
Starting point is 00:10:23 Don't you think I went to one the other day and they have so many different sources? Oh, that's where the wealthy people shop are. Yeah, yeah. They have a nice deli. They have it kind of in the middle and it all just, I don't know. Morning Alex. You're doing a great job.
Starting point is 00:10:38 Hello, hello, hello. Hello. What does it take to be in a day? So what's your end goal with being a manager at New World? Is it one of those jobs where if you do it for long enough, you can buy your own branch? Kind of like McDonald's. I guess you can, if you know the right people, but my end goal is I'm studying IT at the moment and software development.
Starting point is 00:10:58 Oh, cool. That's probably better with AI and stuff. Unless you end up buying a supermarket, I hear those guys do okay. Yeah. Yeah, I've heard. Yeah, well, my boss is driving one of the newest outies around. Yeah, yeah, it checks out. I hear this.
Starting point is 00:11:12 I'm pretty good. Yeah, as it true that, like, if you own a supermarket, you basically print money. It's pretty much. Yeah. Yeah, if you've ever shopped. It's the never-ending loop. Yeah, because obviously people need food, don't they? It's the one thing that sort of survives any type of crisis.
Starting point is 00:11:30 Well, Dan is just hitting us with the facts today, isn't it? Yeah, yeah. We all need food. Dan. Supermarket owners make money. Thank God for you. I know. And McDonald's is the same.
Starting point is 00:11:40 I think I've heard. What? McDonald's makes a lot of money. What other businesses make? And because they're also selling the food thing you talked about that we need. Exactly. Yeah, that's good. Get them to the food game, I say.
Starting point is 00:11:52 Yeah. Hey, we're doing later on the show, we're doing Flex Factor. We've got a chick from Fangere, her name's Monique. She's got quite the skill. What's yours, Alex? If you were to be on Flex Factor on our show, what would you flex? You got any special skills? Oh, I'd probably flex my pecks.
Starting point is 00:12:13 Flex your flex? You've got some pecs? You got some pecs. What a pex again? Pets are the front ones? Juice muscles. Yeah, doing like bench press. All right, man, well, we've got a voucher.
Starting point is 00:12:23 We'll send out to you thanks to Z'd so you can go spend it on coffee, petrol, whatever you like, bro. Cheers, thank you so much. You're welcome, Dad. Go get some creatine for your pecks. Yeah, Monique reckons, she was telling us yesterday, that she can feel the weight of a box of puzzle pieces and tell you exactly how many are in the box,
Starting point is 00:12:42 even if you've taken a piece or a hundred out. Yeah, it's wild. She says she's done it many more times than once. Yeah, she says she's been doing it. since she was 11 years old. That is an incredible skill if she can do it. We've got a whole load of different sized puzzles here. If she can't guess right, we can all do that.
Starting point is 00:12:58 We can all pick up a box of puzzles, guess a number that's wrong. Yeah, yeah, that's true. So it's going to be interesting. She's driving it all the way down from Faguerre for it. She must be confident if she's driving all that way. Exactly, like a two-hour drive to prove it. That's a long gag if you're like these guys are idiots. I can't miss it.
Starting point is 00:13:13 I can't. And it's not like we've gone, come down and we'll give you some money either way. Oh, God, no. No, no, no. No, she's just doing it. cover her travel expenses, I think, because it feels expensive, but outside of that I can't wait to meet it.
Starting point is 00:13:26 I'd like, actually, before 8 o'clock, can we get like her partner on if she's got one and just go, have you ever seen this girl? That he has, remember? Are you confident that she can do it? Yeah, well, I don't know with his confidence, but she did say that he was the one that, you know, was amazed because she had 33, she knew her with 33 pieces missing. I know, but, I mean, this is maybe a strange
Starting point is 00:13:43 analogy, but it's kind of like there's people that go on American Idol and then they sing and they're terrible and then they cry because they go, The mum said I was amazing. Oh yeah, you want someone in life that's like, it's not that great. Yeah, and I just wonder if... I mean, his husband goes, how much? Yeah, you got it right again.
Starting point is 00:14:00 And he's just humouring her. It's a power of sorts. I wouldn't say it's a superpower. Like, she wouldn't make the Avengers. But I think she would. It's impressive, nonetheless. Very much impressive. Yeah, maybe she starts it off.
Starting point is 00:14:11 I'd be gutted if I was like hanging from, like, a building and the Avengers came. And I'm like, save me a piece. I can't do anything. But I can tell you how many puzzles pieces are in that box. There's only 997 in this one. I'm about to die. Oh no, jigsaw girls here again. Bloody old.
Starting point is 00:14:26 The Clint Meg and Dan podcast. More or less, different topic every morning. We just have to guess if the first option Meg gives is more or less than the second. All righty. And this was a special one for you, Dan. I wanted to cheer you up this morning. It's a Formula One. I'm happy.
Starting point is 00:14:40 I don't need cheering up. Oh, I thought you seemed to bit down. Oh. Well, I thought this would perk you right back up. Oh, brilliant. All right. More or less. This is your specialty subject.
Starting point is 00:14:49 Isn't it? Well, what is it? Formula one. Yeah. Okay. What's Formula One? I knew there would be something. It's all just math formulas and science formulas, is it?
Starting point is 00:14:58 No. Which country has more babies using formula? Brilliant. Go on, dude. Oh, what a boring subject. I like this more than the gun. Which countries have more babies using formula? United States or France?
Starting point is 00:15:16 France. No, no, no, no, no, no. United States. Correct, Clint. Thank you. God, just the population alone would be the giveaway. Which country has more formula brands? China or New Zealand. China? Correct. Dad, I thought this was your special.
Starting point is 00:15:31 Yeah, come on, mate. What are you doing? You're sitting there in the pits doing nothing. Yeah. Which company sells more baby formula globally? Nestle or Carrey Care? I'd go Nestle. But this is your special. No, but this is yours. I'm giving you the chance to drive for a little bit. Carrey Care, I think, is... I would go Nestle. I genuinely would.
Starting point is 00:15:53 Yeah, it does. Well done. All right, boys, you're looking really good for a five out of five. Perfect sweep. You call us, 0,800 the Edge. We'll give away a double password. Musty movie. Which country is more babies born per year?
Starting point is 00:16:04 Japan or Australia. Ooh. Oh, Clint. Now, this one's not a formula-based one. This is literally just more babies. Yeah, but this has got to be easy. You'd go Japan, wouldn't you? Nah.
Starting point is 00:16:17 I had a steady decline. line. No, because they have a rule where you're allowed only like one, two babies each or something. Isn't that part of Asia? Isn't that's China? Yeah, that's China. They started imposing like a law because there's too many people there. Your final one to at least get four out of five.
Starting point is 00:16:33 Which country is a higher percentage of babies having formula by six months? United Kingdom or Sweden. Doesn't matter, Dan, we've already spun out and crashed, so go on. Yeah, let's let, so UK, what was it? UK or Sweden. I'd go Sweden on that one. Correct. So Formula One not
Starting point is 00:16:51 a special tea, that's a shame. No, no. No, a DNF there? Yeah. That was a DNF. No, championship points for us, Clinton. I've got to stop letting you drive midway through the track.
Starting point is 00:17:04 Why are we in the car together, by the way? I don't know. It's probably why we're going so slow. I'm definitely driving. I'm sitting on Clint's knee. He's throwing the pedals. I'm doing the steering. Thank you.
Starting point is 00:17:16 All right. Coming up next. a little naughty 640, Dan is going to show us his package. No, 20 to 7. That's a misleading team. But still technically true. Clint Megan Dan. It's time to get naughty at 640.
Starting point is 00:17:31 Dan's going to show us his package. Yeah, Daddy, you're going to open it. Do you want me to open it? What's happening here? Well, I got sent a package yesterday. Yeah. And it's not often you get sent a listener mail. No.
Starting point is 00:17:44 It used to happen quite a lot more than it does now. I am always open to her if you're listening and you want to send us something, send it through. No, but you said earlier this morning that an old guy keeps dropping off vegetables and you guys don't eat them because you're worried that he's going to shut them up his bum. It was deformed fruit.
Starting point is 00:18:00 I don't really want deformed fruit or vegetable. Do you want to open it me? Oh, oh, things are popping out. All right, well, starting off. It's a food-based package. Is there a letter? You supposed to read the letter first? Well, these popped out.
Starting point is 00:18:13 There were three balls. Okay. Chocolate balls. And I will say it was just a dress to me So don't go to Like it's my stuff Okay Hi Dan
Starting point is 00:18:27 We love you and Cal From the Edge We listen every day It was only addressed to me though That's the thing Okay Cal who does the show after us in ten We listen every day and love the music and laughs you bring Keep it up, nothing about us yet Clint
Starting point is 00:18:41 Nothing about the laughs we bring me My daughter met you and Meg at Electric Ave. Oh, here you go. Here you go. She loved getting a photo. You guys are the best. I guess I'm kind of in that a little bit. Yeah, there you go.
Starting point is 00:18:53 You're not you, Clint. You were drinking. Yeah, Clint was never there. He was drinking somewhere. I can't deny because I don't know where I was, but it's highly likely. Oh, uh-oh. This is where it's... Okay.
Starting point is 00:19:06 We made you some lolly cake. Fine. All this is fine at the moment. Now, I'll tell you what's making me worried. And I think you'll be worried about the exact same thing as I am, We made you some lolly cake and quote, some special brownie.
Starting point is 00:19:20 Oh, you've got to hear it. You'll love it. And if you like it, I'll send some more. Have a great year. Have a great year, Melissa. But when you say special brownie, instantly that's laced with something, right? Well, yes and or. Special brownie.
Starting point is 00:19:36 This is the thing I wanted to discuss with you guys because I was like, because it's wrapped and glad wrap and it looks like home baking. So there's a couple of... There's a lolly cake in there. Wait, did you eat the lolly cake at Electric Air? No. I was going to say, if you ate the lolly cake
Starting point is 00:19:53 and you didn't get all funny, then maybe this is fine too. No, no, no, no. This is the lolly cake here. Oh, so I thought they gave it to you. No, no, no. We've got both. We've got lolly cake here and special brownie.
Starting point is 00:20:03 I'll have a bite of the special brownie. If it does hit, I hear it won't hit for like a... But I would say if I had a special brownie that was like my specialty. I just call it my special brownie. We're assuming, aren't we, that this brownie has been laced with something. When you say special brownies, there's a secret ingredient usually, isn't it? I know there is, but I would say...
Starting point is 00:20:23 I'm telling it. I can't smell any drugs. How do you know what marijuana smells like? I'm guessing. Rubber? I wouldn't know. You live out West Auckland, you've smelled it. Nah.
Starting point is 00:20:35 Do you think it's just a special brownie? But, Dan, haven't you done this in the past? Do you have a listener brownie? You did have to go home? big mistake. Yeah, because he would never do it again. It wasn't a brownie. It was like another type of pig.
Starting point is 00:20:45 He had to go home. So I'm not doing it. I'm not doing it because I've been burned by this sort of stuff before with listener cake. You will do it because we'll start chanting your name and you'll have to do it. No, that doesn't smell like it's got anything in it. Yeah, go on. Prodice a car? What do you reckon?
Starting point is 00:21:00 Oh, there's a good chance you probably wouldn't smell it. So apparently what you do is you mix it into the butter and you kind of make a solution and then you mix it into the brownie, apparently. Both of you seem to know quite a lot about this neat here in car. are one of you guys this person that sent it through. Oh, imagine that. That'd be such a fun little prank. Oven's got to be the right team.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Apparently. Your mum's listening to this, sneakier. Your mum listens to our show and be careful. Take a bite. We're at four minutes. Just eat it. Here it is. That's all you need to do.
Starting point is 00:21:28 I'm not going to eat it. It's all you need to do. He's a man of the people and he knows that four minute breaks are too long. It's a bit dry. It's very dry. That's probably the marijuana. He's cracking up already And normally takes a wee while to have

Starting point is 00:26:51 Posey. A seven-letter word. Oh! Toy! It was one of the best seen in a long time, Tony. You just need to shave like a quarter-s-old-s. second off every answer, I guess. Man, that was so good.
Starting point is 00:27:10 Eight in a row, and all answered fairly quickly. You just had a couple more to go and you would have had 10 grand. And I had no question marks all the time we do, but I feel like they were all clean. Thanks, so you can always ring up and play again and try again at eight. Man, that was good. There was just a little pause, I think, in one of the questions
Starting point is 00:27:26 midway through. If he hadn't had that, he would have had 10,000. We would have been flying. We'd be flying. Oh, bugger. Damn, we've got to get him back. You know what we need? We need to save the best plan. and then we get them back. I agree. Clint, Megan, Dan.
Starting point is 00:27:39 We love it when you guys send us messages and give us ideas for our show because we are only a group of five or six people. They have no ideas. They have no idea what's going on at best times. And I got this DM sent to, we do another podcast, by the way. After the show, we do a podcast called The Overthinkers podcast.
Starting point is 00:27:56 If you don't know, you can text podcast at 33443. We do video podcast so you can see us for 20 minutes every day talking. Although the camera isn't cutting to me, at the moment, so you won't see much of me. You see both of the boys and you'll hear me but you won't see me. So if that, I understand if that doesn't make you want to watch. Can we change the percentage cutting? Because I think at the moment we've got it 40, 40, 20.
Starting point is 00:28:16 So Meg wants it more 30-30. I like to think that there's someone in our web department that's gone, there's a bit less of Meg. And I've just changed the settings on the cameras. Not a good day for her. Who have you pissed off? Lots of people. Lots of people. Yeah, so we got this message and
Starting point is 00:28:30 I really wanted to, I thought that was a great way to inspire the rest of of us to talk about bad teachers. Hey guys, I was listening to Meg the other day chat about her experience with a teacher in school and it reminded me about my teacher in primary school in the early 2000s. She was pretty crazy in general, but a few things that stood out were she made me stand in front of the class,
Starting point is 00:28:53 went around my friend group, and got each of them to tell me what they disliked about me. She also showed our class full of young kids, the viral jump scare video, the one where the car's driving down the Wynley Road and then the ghost jumps up at the end. and to top it all off nicely she told our class a story about a woman
Starting point is 00:29:09 who got ripped in half by trying to have sex with a horse and at the time I thought it was pretty weird but looking back now I feel like maybe she was in the wrong profession that was from Beggs thank you Bex which I loved so yeah but I do think everyone's had one of those teachers that
Starting point is 00:29:25 maybe when you're you didn't like them at the time but maybe later in life as you've become an adult you're like that was actually really bizarre that happened because on the flip side I feel like a really good teacher can set you up for life I look back on some of my best teachers fondly Mr Dawkins
Starting point is 00:29:42 RIP mate you were one of the best He won here because I'm guessing he's past Oh yeah I'm pretty sure he is Don't say RIP at this you're 100% sure I wouldn't like that The one that comes to mind for me is a woman
Starting point is 00:29:57 By the name of Mrs Thompson And she would have been in her 70s When I was at she's long dead now But she told my mum that she thought I had had motor neurone disorder. That's right. And you were, she was witnessing me in, like, aerobics class. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:10 And she thought I had some sort of issues with my leg to brain function. And it got me to have a cat scan. Yeah, not the case, though, right? No, no, no. Okay, so I'm trying to think of what Meg would like to do off the back of her. So this girl had a, had her friends stand up and say what they'd just like about it. Yeah. Do you want us to all say what we just like about you?
Starting point is 00:30:29 Good idea. Or about Dan. No, Clint. Oh. I want to talk about bad teachers. Oh yeah, I missed the mind. Right, yeah, totally. No, I don't want, you guys tell me that every day anyway
Starting point is 00:30:38 when I don't ask for it. Every morning meeting you stand up and say, right, what do we not like about me today? That's how warm up. I had a teacher say to me, I say in front of the class, her favorite joke, which is what is green and smells like pork, Kermit's fingers.
Starting point is 00:30:54 You all kidding me? And what age? A little, a little old. I think we were about 14, 15. Was it at least health class? No. God, no. Yeah, no.
Starting point is 00:31:03 No. It was German. So not quite health class. Do you have a memory of a bad teacher, 0,800 the edge? Something they did that you were like, you know, we'll try and keep names anonymous. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:31:13 But a bad teacher memory, we'd love to know. Definitely not be around the room of what you don't like about me. That would be... And don't send them in either. Don't text them. No. What? Don't...
Starting point is 00:31:25 Don't even... We can see the text. Yeah, we let her. You can't see me in the videos, though, don't worry. Talking horrible teachers off the back of a... voice message that we got from listener Bex. She made me stand in front of the class, went around my friend group,
Starting point is 00:31:39 and got each of them to tell me what they disliked about me. It's outrageous. This is actually off the back of horrible bosses. This is what inspired it. Bex was listening to that part, so now we're doing horrible teachers. I had a class in primary school where a teacher would wash kids out,
Starting point is 00:31:54 mouths out with soap. I thought they only happened in the 1950s. Were you in the 1950s? Yeah, no, no, no. In the 90s. And I think one of the kids said the S word, like swore, and then he literally got a bar.
Starting point is 00:32:04 to open the bathroom and wash their mouth out. My goodness. Yeah, crazy. Because maybe those old teachers, eh? Because they're still living in their day when they were caned and stuff. My dad used to be like, oh, I used to get caned at school. They should bring that back. Oh.
Starting point is 00:32:16 Yeah. And I'm like, isn't that crazy that used to happen? I know. Or like getting wrapped on the knuckles. My mum used to get, I think, like rulers on the knuckles. That would have been sore. Yeah. Let's go to Maddie.
Starting point is 00:32:30 Oh, I'm to the edge. Hi, Maddie. Morning, Maddie. Hi. Morning. What did a teacher do with you? So I was talking in class and what the teacher got me to do
Starting point is 00:32:41 was to stand up in front of everyone and slap myself bright rates in my cheeks. Slap yourself! She's like, I can't do it anymore legally. Yeah, yeah, so you're going to have to do it. You smack yourself or you get out of my class. Did you do it? Yeah, I had to.
Starting point is 00:32:55 Otherwise, I wasn't allowed to sit down back and join the class. Was this in New Zealand, Maddie, or somewhere else? No, this was overseas. Wow, right. Maybe that's the thing that's done overseas. Did your parents ever find out? No, I was too scared because I wasn't the wrong first.
Starting point is 00:33:12 I was talking in class. Oh, no, but I mean, no, but the humiliation to slap yourself as well. You know, not, it just, that's wild that got, that got passed. Teacher, I'm sorry, TX, teacher told me, be better if I was said, not heard. You also said, Hanuk, you tell us something about Uranus. It must have been science clouds. And a boy yelled, yep, it's big. And the teacher laughed.
Starting point is 00:33:32 Oh, Ben. Dan's listening to Brownie that he ate early this morning, kicking it. Yeah, that's a completely inappropriate thing to say to a child, a female child. A bit of a laugh. Is it? No. This is why you're not a teacher. Hi, Nicole.
Starting point is 00:33:54 Big Nick, what's going on? Morning. How are you guys? Morning, babe. What did a teacher do? Good. Yeah, well, who's your horrible teacher? I had two very bizarre stories that popped into mind.
Starting point is 00:34:08 One was, I was like 14, and I had a teacher pull me out of class, and she pretty much asked if I was pregnant, as she'd noticed I'd put on a couple KGs that she'd last seen me, and no, I was not pregnant. That was really crazy. Oh, my goodness. Why was she trying to be supportive through the time, or was she just being real judgy?
Starting point is 00:34:32 What the hell? I don't know. It was a bit of both. It did not come across very well. No, yes, it wouldn't. Year 10. Yeah, and you still remember it. Yeah, yes, I do.
Starting point is 00:34:43 And the second one was in year 8, so I think you're about, how old are you there? Oh, you last year of intermediate? Yeah. Yes, and in English, you got played little clips, and you had to, like, analyze them and be really analytical. And one of the clips was of a cartoon farmer, an old farmer who was having sex with a cow.
Starting point is 00:35:04 Guys, this is a shit. What are they doing? What are they doing? This is another TX when I was 12 at school camp. I told the principal at breakfast I saw tummy. He stomped on my foot and said, now you're not thinking about your tummy pain. Oh my God.
Starting point is 00:35:17 Some of these stories, I'm guessing, are from like 30, 40 years ago. They must be. Okay, Sarah. Horrible teachers, last one. What'd yours do? So one of the kids in class, off one of those packet fart bombs.
Starting point is 00:35:31 And then everybody got up to run out the door, the teacher just locked the door off and stood there and wouldn't let anybody leave. So you just had to all gag on it? Yeah. Damn. That is funny. That's the sort of stuff that I would do if I was a teacher.
Starting point is 00:35:44 You have all these, all these scallywag kids doing all this sort of stuff. It would piss you off every day. I'd go sit in it. Sit in it. Sick of the sword. You would run out. You can't sit in Clint's farts when you were. Oh, Clint, there's no need for that.
Starting point is 00:35:57 It's just a sound effect. Thanks. My goodness. Right, we're all sitting in this until you guys learn your lesson. All right. The anus one really got me. Update on Flex Factor, Monique from Fangare. She says she has a skill that I have never heard anyone else in the world is able to do.
Starting point is 00:36:15 It's so unique. I actually think it's impossible. Unique, Monique. Yeah. Oh, that should be her name. If she was an Avenger, that would be right. Clint Megan Dan. Right, let's get you up to speed if you missed.
Starting point is 00:36:26 Unique Manique yesterday on the show. It's Clint Megynette. and Dan's Flick, Flicks, Flex Factor. Yesterday on Clint Begandand Dan's Flex Factor, Monique called through to the show to confess her very special skill. I can go into a secondhand store, take up any box of puzzles,
Starting point is 00:36:43 don't have to even look inside and I know how many people are missing. This morning, Monique joins us live in studio to put her skill to the test. It's Clint, Megan Dan, flick, flick, flex, Flex Factor. Yeah, so she's supposed to be in tomorrow, Oh, sorry, today at about 8 o'clock. Yeah, driving down now from Fagare. We've brought in a number of puzzles, haven't we guys,
Starting point is 00:37:06 with different... Yeah, I... Oh, wait, do we say the sizes, right? Even if she's listening. I have a 48-piece animal one with smiling animals and a 100-piece jungle paradise one, my daughter's puzzles. And I brought in a thousand-piece puzzle,
Starting point is 00:37:23 which I would imagine it'd be the hardest, wouldn't it? The more parts in it. So the idea is, Obviously, we would remove a random number of pieces from the box, and then just from feeling the box, she's meant to be able to tell us how many remain. And she hasn't only done it once. First time it ever happened to me, I was 11 years old.
Starting point is 00:37:41 Okay, we're getting her in. She's a apology. So you don't even... I'll send her a taxi right now. It's physically impossible. I will say this. Do you think so? Yeah, it's guesswork.
Starting point is 00:37:51 It is. It's guesswork. Or just luck. Or she's got some sort of telepathy thing where she can read or see-through boxes. Well, that's amazing. I don't think that's the case. No, but that is an incredible skill if she had it. Okay, so she's done it more than once.
Starting point is 00:38:07 I mean, I was talking about whether we give her a margin of error. No. You guys were like, no, because she never said she needs one. No, she said she can get it exactly right. Why give her a margin of error? If she had said, I can always get it within three or four, but she didn't. She said gets it right.
Starting point is 00:38:21 Okay, I think it's important that when she comes in, because we've got a, like a B studio next door here, I think we take her phone off her and we send her into the B studio and then we can tell everybody how many pieces are in each box so everyone listening, if you're listening at 8 o'clock, you know how many are there so you know
Starting point is 00:38:39 what the number is that she needs to guess so that she doesn't go 912 and then we go, that's correct and you guys go, I don't know. Yeah, we'll tell you first. Want it to be all legit and above board so you are as impressed as we will be if she can do the thing she sees.
Starting point is 00:38:53 I mean, I'll still be impressed if she gets it within one or two, but I will be I think she needs to get it bang on. Oh, if we give her a thousand-piece puzzle when she goes 946 pieces and she's within two or three, I'm still pretty impressed by that. I think you could take 200 pieces out of the 1,000 pieces
Starting point is 00:39:11 if you want, Dan. That is completely up to you. I know, it is impressive, but you must... It is also, unfortunately, we will still be like, oh, but she's not. I'll be blowing away if she's bang on. I will be blowing, I'll be forward. You know what we haven't done? We haven't tested against someone who doesn't claim to have the skill. Maybe we need to test Meg.
Starting point is 00:39:26 and give her the box and then when she says how many she thinks are in it we go, oh, okay, it's really easy. Yeah, right. Maybe you have a look at my box next and you can guess how many pieces are in it. Okay, okay. Dan, you pull out a random number.
Starting point is 00:39:38 We'll give that a nudge and then at 8 o'clock we'll find out if I guess Monique can put her money where her mouth is and actually front up. And if you do have a skill that you think is just as impressive almost as impressive, text it through 3343. If you want to be on, Flex Factor. Everybody's got a talent.
Starting point is 00:39:55 Even if you don't know you do, you do. Just have a think. All right, did you know? It's not how bad things going around the world, and it's nice to hear about the cool stuff that's happening. Just quickly, on the whole, did you know, if you do want to change your algorithm on Instagram, you're watching a real.
Starting point is 00:40:12 Top right corner, a couple of tiny little hearts. Click on that, and it will tell you your algorithm. Mine says lately you've enjoyed humor and memes, smart financial moves, and gridiron action. Oh my gosh, how do we do that, what a mix. And so you can actually add. and things you want to see more of
Starting point is 00:40:27 and remove things that you want to see less of. How'd you do that? Tell me again. So if you're watching a reel, top right corner, there are two little hearts. Click on it. It'll tell you your algorithm and what you can see more or less of. I don't have that.
Starting point is 00:40:37 So if you want more good news. Lately you've been into meditation, celebrating women in your life and staying on top of style trends. Cool. There you go. And Lord of the Rings. Okay.
Starting point is 00:40:48 So that's good. That's good. I'm happy with that. Oh, yeah. Okay. So then you can add more to your algorithm of things you'd like to see. Maybe more good news.
Starting point is 00:40:56 All right, great. Well, I have some good news this morning. A 43-year study has come out this morning. Right. It's a long study. It's a long study, so it means you can kind of believe it. Your daily cup of coffee or tea might be doing a lot more waking you up, and it could be helping your brain long-term.
Starting point is 00:41:15 It's found a long-term study that moderate consumption of caffeinated coffee or tea linked to an 18% lower risk of dementia. That's great. That's real. We drink a lot of coffee on this show and like caffeine stuff. I thought that was really, really cool. So the benefits appeared. Strong is it two to three cups of coffee or tea,
Starting point is 00:41:33 one to two, or one to two cups of tea daily. And that is for 18% lower risk of dementia, everybody. Here's another bit of good news for you. Conservationists have reported a rebound in giant panda populations in China thanks to a habitat restoration program. They were close to being extinct like 20 years ago, like fully extinct.
Starting point is 00:41:53 There was like hundreds left in the, population, which is very low for a big species like the panda. Now they're thriving and there's thousands in the wild. Crazy. On that, Diego is a tortoise who has fathered 800 descendants and also helped save his species from extinction. 800 kids. My God, just child support.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Good on you, Diego. And also, Guatemala is blocking oil extraction to protect their jaguars and scarlet macaws. It's pretty cool for them. It's very cool. In fact, I hear some good news about the macaws coming back into the wild. Did you know in Hokkaido, a rural train has been running for years just to take one student to school.
Starting point is 00:42:33 When she graduated, the line finally closed. Wow. I can't happen to think that as a bit of a waste of fuel. Yeah, yeah. I'm not for that. Especially the pandas are bounced back, and now that's happening. Scientists in Japan have just created a plant-based plastic that completely dissolves in salt water within hours
Starting point is 00:42:51 without leaving any microplastics behind. because so many people just throw their bottles into the ocean. I also thought that a drug is to treat Parkinson's can be made from waste plastic bottles. You're using a new method that has just been invented. That's great. And if you've ever felt your phone vibrate in your pocket, then taking it out and gone,
Starting point is 00:43:09 there was no notifications. You're not crazy. A study in Indiana University has found a huge number of people that feel their phone vibrate, didn't feel it, and it's just a thing called phantom vibration. Is that good news? Yeah, because you're not crazy.
Starting point is 00:43:22 Oh, okay. Well, then can I just end with the phone? this one. Mexico has stopped dolphin shows and will return all dolphins currently in captivity to the sea and to a marine conservation area. That's bad news for you because you've always said your dream
Starting point is 00:43:36 job as a dolphin trainer. I know but it's not going to happen for me. He's tried. Especially you know if they're releasing them all back into the wild. It's like, come on, leave one in there. Leave one so I can train it. Although we're told we can't release them to the wild because they can't fend for themselves but turns out Mexico
Starting point is 00:43:51 they can't. They always look so happy. They slide up onto the thing, don't they? They go, and then jump back in. Clint, Meg and Dan. Oh, my gosh. It's Meg's a 12-year anniversary. We thought it was a bang anniversary, but that actually happened quite a few months before becoming official.
Starting point is 00:44:06 13th of Jan, and the boys always give me a bit of shit about that. We did it to the hobbit. But I say, I don't care what the movie is. If I am with somebody who I have chemistry with, that I would almost rather put on a bad movie because I know I'm not seeing the end of it. I mean, I get that, but at the end of it, you're going, weird, we just, we just did it to
Starting point is 00:44:26 minions. Someone takes that in. But if that's what gets going for you, I don't know how minions would. It doesn't, it doesn't get you going. Nothing, it doesn't matter. It could be literally anything. If you're sitting next to the person that you're
Starting point is 00:44:40 you know, hoping to get with. Someone's lost their virginity to Butterfly Effect. Oh, that's a great movie actually. That's a real iconic moment to lose your virginity. Someone else talking about her and their husband, now husband, bang for the first time to National Treasure. That's not a movie you can afford to miss
Starting point is 00:44:55 Like, you're going to see all of it It's literally like that chasing treasure Have you missed the beginning? Have you missed the beginning? You'd be like, hell, no, they get there. Chris like, babe, stop, stop. I'm trying to watch the end of Nicholas Cage is about to do something.
Starting point is 00:45:05 Yeah, it's a great film, National Treasure. All right, let's go to Kristen I, Hint with the Edge. Morning, Kristen. Morning. So did you, is this a movie that got you in the mood or did you just start doing it during the movie? I'm pretty sure that you. You can see the title of the movie,
Starting point is 00:45:27 and you can probably sit there and see, like, yeah, no, there's nothing turning on about that movie. Okay, okay. What's the movie? I mean, maybe the specific scene that I kind of, that we started getting dressed too, maybe. What's the movie? So, as I was getting dressed, I looked up and noticed the TV, and it was the scene of Ace Ventura where he was coming out of the rhinoceros and butthole. Okay, dokey.
Starting point is 00:45:52 Nothing sexy about that scene. Do you know? And Kristen, that Rhino is up for sale. It might have just gone to auction. Like, it was literally last week. They reckon it was going to go for $8,000. I was like, how much show budget do we have? You can buy it.
Starting point is 00:46:14 It's taken up room in someone's storage. I swear I've seen Ace Ventura a couple of times. I do not remember that scene. I genuinely don't. This text, we decided to watch the Bohemian Rhapsody movie because I've gone on about how great a movie it was, not even five minutes and one thing led to another. We slept together for the first time.
Starting point is 00:46:29 Once things cooled off, we were cuddling, all we could hear was Galileo. What a way we ended. What a crescendo. Let's go to Nicola. Nicola, what was the movie that you did it for the first time or any time, I guess? Oh, good morning. So it was Brokeback Mountain.
Starting point is 00:46:50 Oh, that's interesting. I wanted to watch the movie. my husband had really no idea what it was about and yeah I think that he really just wanted to I think he was just really uncomfortable watching the movie and just wanted to distract me I was just going to say who initiated it with who he did
Starting point is 00:47:13 so he was watching Brokeback Mountain okay Daniel I'm just saying he was watching Brokeback Mountain and then he was like I kind of feel in the mood leave him Nickal up he was sitting next to Hoddy Nicola and he wasn't even thinking about the movie. He was just thinking about her being close to him. He's ledger and Jake Gyllen all that. And how are him and Steve doing now?
Starting point is 00:47:35 You guys, you get along. You're still married, don't you? Yeah, yeah. But we use it now as a little coach. So I'll be like, hey, you want to watch Brokeback Mountain tonight? Oh. And the kid's like, no idea.
Starting point is 00:47:55 That's great actually It's a great little code Does he still call you Heath while you're doing it? Oh stop that I wish I knew how to quit you Nicola And they go You need to stop that as weird Clint, Megan Dan
Starting point is 00:48:08 Lesh Go The Edge The Edge is easy money Here's your shot at $10,000 All right Here we go We just got a little after eight

Starting point is 00:48:30 Well, when I say teacher, she's a paddleboard instructor. Morning, Ray. Hi, Ray. Hi, Ray. All right, do you know how to play? Hello. Yes. Okay, great.
Starting point is 00:48:40 You can pass. I'll just go over the rules quickly one more time. If we've got time, we'll come back. But no repeated answers. Meg's got your letter this morning. Yes. The letter. Letters, W.
Starting point is 00:48:50 W. W for games. This is good because, honestly, there's only a few options for it, so it can hone it in. Okay. All right, Ray. Ready to go? Yes.
Starting point is 00:49:01 Let's do this. As always, I got the winner being ready for you. Okay, Ray, give me something you'd buy from a supermarket. A washing powder. A body part. Uh, uh, pass. Something you can wear. Uh, pass.
Starting point is 00:49:22 A five-liter word. Window? A band. A band. Oh, that was wrong. West life. A TV show with more than four seasons. Four seasons.
Starting point is 00:49:36 That's about fourths where we were. Okay. That's over the end, Ray. Because yesterday we had a quitter. What's that mean? The whole thing. 30 seconds. Yeah, that was it.
Starting point is 00:49:58 That was it. We got through five questions, but with four paths. Body party, you could have gone with wrist or waist. Something you wear. Sorry about that, Ray. Watch or a wig. At least you're probably going out paddleboarding today, are you? Well, not today.
Starting point is 00:50:13 Maybe tomorrow. What a shit of a day. Too depressed to do anything now. I'm not going today now. Back again at 7 and 8. Up next. Oh, we were jeered up. We are so jeed up for Flex Factor.
Starting point is 00:50:26 I have some bad news to pass on. What? Clen Clifx Factor. Yesterday on Clint McIn-Dan's Flex Factor, Monique called through to the show to confess her very special skill. I can go into a second-hand store. Take out any box of puzzles.
Starting point is 00:50:47 Don't have to even look inside and I know how many people are missing. This morning, Monique joins us live in studio to put her skill to the test. It's Clint. from Fangare. Manique was going to make the trip to showcase her special flex. Was gone, you say.
Starting point is 00:51:07 Yeah, that doesn't give me any feelings of positivity that this is about to happen. She's been able to do the skill supposedly since she was 11. We have three different sized boxes of puzzles. We're going to pull some random pieces out. She's going to give them a shake and work out exactly the number of pieces that are left. a skill if you're about to start a thousand-piece puzzle and you go three missing in here. And what I loved about it is it's quite niche. You know, like it's
Starting point is 00:51:32 something you don't make up. That's something that you've done before and you've gone, that's a skill. Yeah, so we're really excited. Brought in our puzzles. Hold them in. I was really interested to speak to maybe like a partner to be like, have you seen this skill or is this just something unique, Monique? See as she can do, but no one's ever tested
Starting point is 00:51:48 it. Because some people go around, we all know that friend. It goes around, run in their their mouth, they can do all these things and you go, I don't know if you can. Hold on, then who's... Don't point at me, Mick. I don't have any skills. So that's wrong.
Starting point is 00:52:01 We were right now supposed to be putting Monique in our B studio. We were taking her phone off her. Whilst we let you in on how many pieces were in the three boxes that we're going to test her with, small, medium and large. Unfortunately, Monique is not here
Starting point is 00:52:14 and I think still might be in Fangeree, producer Carl. Yeah, at 612 this morning, I got a text from a different number that I've been talking to Monique on yesterday, and so we'd had a conversation throughout the day We talked about how the morning was going to go, how the competition was going to go.
Starting point is 00:52:29 And then I got a text from another random number this morning saying, hey, it's Monique. I'm not going to be able to make it this morning, sorry. And then I've been pretty much ghosted since then. So, benefit of that I did out. Yeah, I'm not sure what's going on. I'm removing her name, Unique Monique. Yeah, what are you changed it to?
Starting point is 00:52:45 Flaky Monique. It doesn't roll. What about weak Monique? That sounds a bit mean. Okay, here's the question, though. Is she unable to do it this morning? but she is able to do it at a different time later on next week, or have we gone cold on this thinking that she isn't able to do what she said she could do?
Starting point is 00:53:04 Well, if she's completely ghosted, how about hard to get to speak, Monique? No, it does roll off the tongue, does it? Yeah. Yeah, like I've messaged her number, and I've also messaged this mystery number saying, oh, could we get in another time to do it? Again, ghosted. Okay, so the way I see it, we haven't got Minique.
Starting point is 00:53:22 We need a talent. We need someone. that's going to fill this void. Yeah, in our sheet. Yeah. The flex factor needs to, you know, push on. Agreed. Agreed, Dan. All right.
Starting point is 00:53:35 Yeah, wait and let us know whether you think you'd like to see us pursue this or if we're like, nah, Manik had a shot. And, you know, sometimes in an audition, you can choke. And I guess not showing up as a form of choking. I would like to see, though, if it is a skill that is all that impressive. Like, I've never seen anyone do it. I mean, we have the boxes here, Meg. I could pull a few out.
Starting point is 00:53:55 and see how you go next. And if you even get close, then maybe it's not that impressive. Like Unique, Monique, you're quite unique in other ways. Guys, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not good at this. I've never claimed to be good at this. I don't even know. But maybe you just have the power.
Starting point is 00:54:10 You didn't know. We'll even take calls from anyone who knows Monique from Fangere, who's been going, she's the jigsaw lady, goes around telling everyone she can do it, if you've heard of it. And you go, no, no, no. She's absolutely pulling your leg. Or you go, yes, I've seen it.
Starting point is 00:54:23 It's incredible. You guys need to persist. Right I would have preferred Monique if I'm honest Clint and I feel like this is much a booby prize Yeah okay We're going to be looking for someone else
Starting point is 00:54:35 To flex their skill with Flex Factor Unless Monique you're listening 0800 the edge It's Clint Megan Dance Flick Flick Flix Factor So many different skills Have been sent our way A few more impressive
Starting point is 00:54:52 Than most One of the most impressive ones we've had is the person that was supposed to come in this morning. Yeah. Yeah, Monique, she said that she can pick up any puzzle box and tell you how many pieces are in the puzzle and if any are missing. And if there are any missing,
Starting point is 00:55:07 the exact amount of puzzle pieces that are missing. That's almost impossible. Yeah, and she was going to do the drive from Fangare this morning and we said, we'll saw you out for petrol because obviously that's expensive at the moment. And Jodi hit back, she's just text saying, as someone from Fangare, I just cringe. it's so Fungare, an embarrassment.
Starting point is 00:55:27 To our city. Oh, you know what, let's give her the benefit of the doubt. Maybe something happened. You know, maybe there was some sort of family issue that she couldn't turn up. Lucy wants to see the skill so bad that she's also in Fungare and said she would drive her to Auckland.
Starting point is 00:55:46 Lucy, do you not have any things ever to do? Or do you commute normally and you'd just bring her with you? Kapil. It's just a fun event You know Go down and bring her down with Yeah and you get to make Meg You know what a joy
Starting point is 00:55:59 Yeah Get to meet the team Yeah the team Would you lose I mean at least be satisfied A touch To see if someone who doesn't claim To have the skill
Starting point is 00:56:09 Attempted it And see how they would go Because we don't actually know If it's impressive Maybe Meg can do it Meg might have the touch I reckon she gives it a go Yeah she's got the touch
Starting point is 00:56:19 And other things I think she can give it a go I think she can give it a go If I am a witch, I've always claimed I am a witch. So we have got a puzzle that was supposed to be for Monique. A hundred piece puzzle, I have taken some pieces out of it? Or have I? I feel pretty heavy, actually.
Starting point is 00:56:32 Is me allowed to take the lid off and look inside? I think because it's not her special skill, I reckon she can take it off for three seconds. Okay. Have a look and then put it back on. Put it back on. So she's had a look. She's shaking it around.
Starting point is 00:56:47 We'll give you a couple more seconds to have a bit of a feel. All right. Clint's written the number on a piece of paper. Okay. I'm going to now take the piece of paper so there's no, nothing being cheated. Yeah. What is your guess for how much is left in the 100-piece puzzle?
Starting point is 00:57:04 I wish I felt this box before... Okay, it doesn't matter, I guess it goes. It's my two. Seven are missing. So you think there are... Seven missing puzzle pieces out of the 100-piece puzzle. How many... So you think there are 93 still in the box?
Starting point is 00:57:21 How many are in the box? That or my other number is 16. Those are the only two numbers I have. Which one are you going? Lock in one number. Okay, I'll lock in 16. Okay, so now you think there are 84 pieces remaining. There's 76 in the box.
Starting point is 00:57:40 So you're way off. Yeah, well, I never said I was good at the game, guys. This is a dumb thing to do. What a shame. Why did you say you were good at it? But I didn't say I was good. So why would we make me, obviously, why are we even upset? Of course I couldn't do it. Also, yeah, I do wonder now if we got Manika and
Starting point is 00:57:54 Monique did say 76. I mean, yeah. I mean, I think seeing her do it three times with differing size puzzle piece, puzzle pieces, would be impressive. You know what I think's happened? I think Monique's gone last night. She's picked up a couple of puzzles and tried her power again,
Starting point is 00:58:11 and she's gone, shit, I've lost it. Oh, she's practiced last night. I genuinely think that's what's happened. And she's gone, I can't go in with my powers of being lost, you know? Yeah. So then as a vote now, Do we pursue Monique? Or are we like, sorry, you had your shot and you blew it?
Starting point is 00:58:29 Yeah, I think we're done with Monique. She's dead to me now. Yeah, we've got to find somebody else with us. I mean, she could actually be dead. She's not returning our calls. Yeah. You'll feel terrible. We've lost a true prodigy if we have.
Starting point is 00:58:39 You know, we still have Jill Hyde, who says she can tell if people are fake laughing. Does that interest you at all? I mean, if we don't have Monique, we'll take anything really. There's a guy that can do the, sitting on hold, they can do the alphabet backwards. I can do the alphabet backwards? Can you? Yeah. Do you want to hear it?
Starting point is 00:58:54 and breastplay Martin's skill. Z-Y-X-W-V-U-T-S-I-Q-O-N-M-L-K-J-A-HG-G-F-D-S-V-A. Sorry, Martin. She's cut your lunch there, buddy? Oh, producer Carl. Martin, you've been sitting on hold for about 10 minutes. Meg's just cut your lunch. Martin.
Starting point is 00:59:12 That's okay. You're so sad, Meg. At least she shouldn't drive from Fagaday, Martin. Clint, Meg and Dan. And last night, 12,736 people walk through the doors of Spark Arena more than any other since Sparkerun opened its doors in 2007. They filled it to the brim.
Starting point is 00:59:36 You could see it. Dan, I and producer car went together last night. Ash London also went from the Ash London show. And it was, yeah, I've been to Spark Arena many of times as of you, Dan. You literally would look around and you couldn't see a single seat spear. You know, even when places that say they sold out, but you can't. can see that there are several people that didn't turn up. This was like literally every seat all the way around the back of the stage.
Starting point is 00:59:59 They also, all those seats were sold out. Yeah, it was genuinely, I've never seen it more packed. It was epic. Emily Armstrong is the new lead singer of Lincoln Park. She's phenomenal. I have rated her and her being the new lead for a while, and so I love the new music they've released, but I really felt like a lot of people still went for Lincoln Park nostalgia.
Starting point is 01:00:20 They would have absolutely. Absolutely, I think, being converted to how amazing she is. Yeah, this was them thanking the crowd for coming out in droves. This is, like, sitting on top of each other in the seats or whatever it is. We're grateful for it. Thank you guys for being here. Shout out to the ones who the signs, man. Yeah, and thank you guys for the support of the new music.
Starting point is 01:00:46 Obviously, Emily, who replaced Chester Bennington, who was the previous lead singer. I went along, because I am a fan of Lincoln Park, and I was not expecting much. because I, you know, I just loved Chester. But she genuinely blew me away. Incredible vocalist. Yeah, and charisma on stage. She was able to make boys in the audience be like puppets for her. There should be a clip in there, Clint,
Starting point is 01:01:09 that NEPI's just loaded of them singing one of the encore songs. This is obviously a big hit from them. Everybody will know this song. Emily singing this. Does it? He's still loaded, I think. Mike Schneider was so good as well. Do you know that man?
Starting point is 01:01:25 so cool, so talented I can see why they kept up Lincoln Park because he's got so much in him still at 50, 49. One of those guys, I'm happy to miss the encore and get the heck out of the arena before everyone else and get the first Uber. Dan was an unpopular opinion. No, Dan was planning on doing that
Starting point is 01:01:58 and then he basically stayed because the energy was so good. I did leave it the last song. Yeah. I left it the last song. And it was good because that place was packed. I was not looking forward to getting stuck in the droves of people leaving. If everyone went in flush,
Starting point is 01:02:10 the toilet twice. Everyone did like two wees, one when they arrived, one when they left. It's about 61 backyard swimming pools worth of water. The amount of people that were here. Very specific claim. That is a great fact. The weights, if you put everyone together, they're all in the stands. 190 fully loaded school buses or six blue whales stacked on top of each other.
Starting point is 01:02:29 That means nothing to me, really. Well, producer Carl's done all the math, so I feel like it's a real shame to not. Apparently, there was 12,000 litres of sweat there last night. Oh, now that is the vision. I thought it was good. I just wish I was back there. It was epic. We were elevated as well.
Starting point is 01:02:45 I'll quickly just mention this. We were elevated and we were looking down at the mosh pit. That is what was one of the most intense mosh pits I've ever seen. There was people like running into each other. Like you know how they run around and like bang into each other? Incredible. What do we think about the girl that got the hat with the sign? Do we believe the sign?
Starting point is 01:03:01 Yes, she said that she had heart surgery next week and she said, Mike, can I have you a hat for luck? And it was amazing. He gave her his hat. Sorry, gave her his hat. And within about three seconds he had another hat. on his head. Someone put it on it. They like brought a hat out.
Starting point is 01:03:13 It's like he's like a magic trick. It can't be without a hat. Yeah. Oh, then they swap hats. Is that way? No, so yeah, yeah, yeah. So she was wearing a hat and then she asked for his hat and then he, and then she gave him his and he wore it for the rest of the show.
Starting point is 01:03:25 I thought someone brought out a hat for him. Get him a hat. I'm just too skeptical. I'm like, hey, you write anything on a sign and then you get the hat. Oh, you're an arthur. That's bad karma though if you're lying. It's bad karma. It's so, so, so, so, so good.
Starting point is 01:03:39 Actually, it was a really good night. last night. We had Lincoln Park, one of the top five best concerts I've ever been to in my life and I got to have a really good laugh with Dan about Clint's latest post on Instagram. Which we're going to talk about next. One of the most cringe posts you'll ever see. Don't need to. Clint Meg and Dan. It's Clint's Biday Update.
Starting point is 01:03:59 This is not a Biday update. I was really, really excited yesterday. I think I was maybe the first person in New Zealand to see Clint's latest Instagram paid post for his Not paid. No, not paid, but you did get contra because they gave you a bidet for free.
Starting point is 01:04:15 You're two bidets. They call it gifted. Yeah. So he posted it and I texted Dan. I mean, I tagged you in like three comments and I texted you right away. What did I text you, Dan? Oh God, you were going, Dan, look at this, please, please.
Starting point is 01:04:27 I was like desperate for you to set where it is. This is desperate. Daniel, Dan Webby, Clint's your bidet Instagram, man, I'm dying. He texts back saying, if I'm driving. And I said his shame knows no bounds. Of all the content on the internet, eh, and you guys are desperate to pull over and watch what I'm doing. Well, I did get home and I looked at this Instagram.
Starting point is 01:04:49 It is probably one of the most desperate, pathetic little things I've ever seen in my life of a man. Well, I didn't even want to do it. I was just minding my own business and stealing my bidet and a photographer walked in. Wow. Asked if she could take some photos of me. You know those photographers, they do that. They all go, hey, I'm a photographer. Can I film you doing your thing?
Starting point is 01:05:11 And, you know, they'll see someone just walking their dog on the beach. You weren't walking your dog on the beach. You're in your toilet. I know, but some photographers would think, I'm a photographer, can I take some photos of you? And then they give them these professional photos. That's kind of what happened to me. You know.
Starting point is 01:05:23 If I can explain it to the people, because this is radio, it's just a video of Clint pretending to be a plumber. He's not a plumber. In fact, he had a man install it for him. He did do it himself. He borrowed a toolout from his brother. He's dressed in dungarees, and his wife comes in posing to be some sort of weird papar
Starting point is 01:05:39 situation going, can I take photos? And then what ensues is like a montage of really quite crassly taken photos of Clint posing as a plumber next to which element. She says, can I take some photos of you? And I was like, well, I'm kind of in the middle of installing my bidet, but I'll give it a shot. And then she takes some photos.
Starting point is 01:05:55 If you want to see it, you can text... Well, no, actually, what should we make the bounce facts? Pathetic. Loser. Loser. Desperate. No, people won't spell it. Badee, probably. No, there's people... I can't spell a bidet silency. really stupidly arrogant but he's still attractive. It is good but it's quite long.
Starting point is 01:06:14 What about just quickly like sellout? One word. Sell out's a really good one. That really just kind of hones it in. Yeah, text sellout to 3343 if you want to see it. The real kicker thing that hurt me the most isn't the five different comments that Meg put on there? Yep. You're welcome by the way.
Starting point is 01:06:31 Or that Dan didn't like it. It was the fact that I co-labbed with propell. the company that gave me the bidets. And they haven't accepted the collaboration. To add to their Instagram. Did they have to approve it? No, no, no. Oh, God, that was a surprise to them.
Starting point is 01:06:51 Oh, God. They've gone, I've gone, oh, no. I'm not sure about that. No, thanks. No. And your family's too nice. Your sister-in-law commented on it saying, I just spat out my tea too good, Clintie.
Starting point is 01:07:02 There's absolutely, I want to call her now and go, now, be honest with us, you're under oath. Did you genuinely split out of tea? out your tea. Absolutely not. Nobody's ever done that. No. That has written that comment. All right. Well, it is sellout to 3, 3, 4.3. Do we just do it as one word?
Starting point is 01:07:16 Yeah, okay. Well, it is throwback Thursday, so jump into some Shania Twain. That feels nice on my bottom. It's not even good, well-d- That's, sorry, that's actually one I did. I honestly say, propel have never regretted.
Starting point is 01:07:38 I think propel. I'm marketing move more in their lives. If they wish they could propel themselves out of the co-lab with Clinton. Absolutely. Yeah. So, all right.
Starting point is 01:07:46 Throw back three, Sam. Green Day. Sorry, that's one of mine as well. I'm going to sleep. You've just put in syllables. Clint, please. I don't want meetings after the show. Please.
Starting point is 01:08:07 We've had so many about that. I need to go home. Clint, Megan, Dan. It's time to disco occasionally. Call 0-800 the edge now to get in the draw for you and a friend to see Harry Styles live in Australia. That's your cue to call. The draw is tomorrow with the Ash London show.
Starting point is 01:08:25 Imagine that. You scrape in the day before. It's announced. And then you go into Melbourne. You and a mate, return flights, two nights accommodation. hottest tickets in the world at the moment. In fact, every time we do this, even when the split second that thing plays,
Starting point is 01:08:40 the cue to call, we call it, the phones light up, like full border calls. Holly already won last Friday. She's off to Sydney for a Harry Styles flyaway. This one in Melbourne. Hey, could be yours. put two people in the draw every morning on our show. So 10 across the week, Max, and you'll be
Starting point is 01:08:56 1 of 10. All right, and the person that managed to do it was Tia. Morning, Tiyo. Hi! From Taranaki! Oh, my God. How exciting.
Starting point is 01:09:07 Imagine if you win this, because it's tomorrow the draw. Yep. You'd have to fly up to Auckland, then fly across to Melbourne. What a journey. How fun. Oh, my God. I've already, like, traveled the world to see one direction,
Starting point is 01:09:18 so I'm like, this is what I need. Did you? Were about that you see One Direction? So I'm from the UK, so I used to travel like to London and then when I lived in New Zealand, I went to Australia, but before I lived to New Zealand, I flew to New Zealand and then back to the UK. Oh, so you're a huge fan of here. Wow, just to see one D. Huge. Huh?
Starting point is 01:09:39 You flew halfway across the world just to see one D? Oh, yeah. Wow. Just ignore him to you. Oh, okay, see what you think I did, yeah. Come on, guys. She saw all five of them, by the way. I'm better at that.
Starting point is 01:09:52 So Harry's obviously the fave? Yeah, oh no, actually, I love them all equally, I believe. No, you've got a favour. You have a favourite. Zane's got to be top two, isn't he? No, Nile. You can't tell me that... Nile!
Starting point is 01:10:12 You can't tell me that Louis's on par with the rest of them, Tia. That's a lie. Anyway, we won't make you rank the boys. But congratulations, you're in the tiny, tiny drawer. And the Ash London Show could be calling you, Tia. So make sure if you get a phone call tomorrow afternoon from an unknown number, you pick that one up. It might be important.
Starting point is 01:10:31 Yeah, I will. All right, babe, good luck. You could be joining Holly. She's already won the flyaway. So we got one tomorrow, then one next Friday, and then the fourth one the Friday after that. We have more Harry Styles tickets than anyone else. Holy shit.
